I try to reclaim myself every day.
And it's a lot of me.
And sometimes it's different parts of me.
I have to sometimes reclaim my heart.
I sometimes have to reclaim my brain.
There's a different part of me that I have to decide every day, my whole self.
But part of what happens when you experience extreme trauma is you get broken up in a particular kind of way.
And the truth that people don't like to say, they're like, you're not broken.
No, I'm not broken because I've worked really hard to pull myself back together.
And I'm not the same.
And I'm okay with not being the same.
But the truth is, I have to fill in those gaps all the time.
And it's okay as long as I get up and I keep going.
But it is, I am very conscious that that is what my life is.
And that's just the truth of it.
And I think we have to be
honest about that truth.
It's not a bad truth.
